Britney Spears surprised talk show host David Letterman this afternoon when she unexpectedly dropped by the Late Show and confirmed on-air that she is pregnant. “Don’t worry Dave, it’s not yours,” the 24-year-old pop princess joked. Letterman responded, “Oh. Well, I think that’s good news for both of us.” Us Weekly exclusively broke news of the pregnancy last month.
This will be Spears’ second child with husband Kevin Federline, 28, whom she married in September 2004. The couple have a son, Sean, who is 8 months old. Federline also has a daughter, Kori, 3, and a 21-month-old son, Caleb, from a previous relationship with Shar Jackson.
Even though Spears has said, “I want more babies,” a source close to the singer tells Us that she “cried her eyeballs out” when a doctor confirmed the pregnancy in early February. “She was considering ending the marriage right before she got the news.”
Initially, the singer didn’t trust her husband with the baby news. “She stopped telling him things because he has a big mouth and knew this would be too big for him to keep a lid on,” says an insider (a rep for Federline denies this).
Spears waited to tell her family about the baby (whose gender is unknown) until around Easter weekend. “Britney was afraid to disappoint her mother, Lynne, the most, and was reluctant to tell her family,” says a source, who adds, “Her family doesn’t like or trust [Federline].”
Cynics are even speculating that the wannabe rapper impregnated Spears as a “security” measure. (Says a rep for the couple, “This is entirely untrue.”) “The truth is, he can’t draw a crowd without her,” adds the Spears insider.
As for Spears’ own career, the singer continues to work on a new album. “It’s not bad that Britney is pregnant and going back into the studio,” David Nathan, a senior vice president at Universal Records (he worked with Spears at Jive Records), tells Us. “However the tiredness, crankiness and edginess of being pregnant, [especially] in her third trimester, could pose a problem in her recording schedule and the amount of time it takes to finish a song.”
Despite her determination to regain her Pop Princess crown, Spears does realize there are more important issues to worry about. Spears, says a source, “is finally getting excited about the baby.”
